\n

D<\/SPAN>ominican President Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez stressed the historic importance in Dominican-Haiti relations as he participated in the inauguration of Haiti\u2019s new President Michel Martelly. <\/P>
\n

\u201cThe fact that a sitting Dominican president can come here to this democratic transition in Haiti indicates that we are living in a time of democracy in Latin America,\u201d said Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/P>
\n

In declarations to the international press last Saturday, President Fern\u00e1ndez pointed out that it was the first time a Dominican president has ever attended a Haitian presidential inauguration following a free and fair election process.<\/P>
\n

\u201cThe fact that a sitting Dominican president can come here to this democratic transition in Haiti indicates that we are living in a time of democracy in Latin America,\u201d said Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/P>
\n

The President spoke with President Martelly about the need to reactivate the Mixed Bilateral Commission to deal with the common issues between the two countries, according to the President\u2019s Press Office.<\/P>
\n

The Head of State said the Dominican Republic has a relationship with Haiti in various areas including commerce, investment, immigration and the ongoing reconstruction of Port-au-Prince, following last year\u2019s devastating earthquake.<\/P>
\n

He pointed out that the world now has a different perception of the relations between the two neighboring countries following the outpouring of solidarity on the part of the Dominican people after the earthquake. <\/P>
\n

President Fern\u00e1ndez also had a bilateral meeting with French Foreign Minister, Alain Jupp\u00e9, with whom he spoke about the challenges facing the Dominican Republic and Haiti and how France can collaborate to strengthen these relations. <\/P>
\n

Fern\u00e1ndez appealed to the international community to speed up its reconstruction plans in Haiti. <\/P>
\n

The Dominican leader also posed the need for France to take the lead in the G-20\u2019s proposal for a worldwide pact against food and fuel speculation.
Foreign Minister Jupp\u00e9 expressed an interest in discussing that topic with French President Nicol\u00e1s Sarkozy. <\/P>
\n

President Fern\u00e1ndez then met with the Russian Ambassador to Haiti, Vladimir Zaesmskiy, with whom he discussed the bilateral agenda between the two countries.
Those who accompanied Fern\u00e1ndez to Haiti for President Martelly\u2019s inauguration include Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso; Senator from San Jos\u00e9 Ocoa, Carlos Castillo and Rafael N\u00fa\u00f1ez, Director of the President\u2019s Office of Information, Press and Publicity. <\/P>\"El
